Clients of SimCorp have met the latest requirements of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) following the second compliance deadline for reporting derivatives trades to a trade repository (TR).
From 11 August 2014, investment management firms are required to include valuation and collateral reports in addition to the data that must already be reported to one of the TRs authorised by the European, 麻豆传媒 and Markets Authority (ESMA).
Of the EMIR requirements, three have a direct bearing on investment managers鈥� IT infrastructure: introduction of central clearing parties to reduce counterparty risk; optimisations in processing over-the-counter derivatives; and increased market transparency by introducing TRs.
SimCorp鈥檚 Trade Reporting solution supports Regis-TR S.A. and the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) as European TRs, authorised by ESMA.
鈥淭he implementation of the Trade Repository solution was marked by the close collaboration between our clients and SimCorp鈥檚 consultants deploying the solution in each country,鈥� says Carsten Kunkel, head of SimCorp鈥檚 global regulatory centre of excellence.
Kunkel added: 鈥淚n order to maintain this close contact and to develop our solution further, we have invited our clients to the first European Trade Repository User Group Meeting taking place on 17 September in Paris.鈥�
鈥淲e are looking forward to bringing together out clients, as well as representatives or Regis-TR S.A. and DTCC in a knowledge sharing workshop which will be beneficial for all participants.鈥�
